However, Tripp is struggling with a serious case of writer's block. In the meantime, he teams up with a college student (Maguire) to find a rare jacket once owned by
Marilyn Monroe and begins an affair with the dean (McDormand). Simultaneously, a college student (Holmes) boarding with Grady has a bit of a romantic crush on her much older professor.

I think Robert Downey Jr is one of the best artist ever. He is not only a wonderfull actor, but he`s also (only) human and it shows. You can see how he`s living every moment. he`s real, not just a caracter in a movie He`s alive. He`s personal life may not be perfect but he`s gift to us is his talent. And this is a great gift.
